One
of
the
most
beautiful
places
of
Vizag,
Dolphins
Nose
is
a
natural
wonder.
It
is
one
of
the
most
sought
after
tourist
spots
in
town.
Clearly
visible
from
all
parts
of
the
city,
Dolphins
Nose
derives
it’s
name
from
it’s
distinctive
shape.
While
Dolphins
Nose
is
clearly
visible
to
all,
not
much
about
it
is
known.
Here
are
some
mind
blowing
facts
about
it
that
you
should
know.
The
lighthouse
that
is
situated
on
Dolphins
nose
was
built
in
the
mid
1960s.
There
was
an
even
older
one
at
the
very
spot
which
did
not
survive
the
1874
cyclone.
It
was
constructed
in
19th
century
and
estimates
say
1860.
Traces
of
the
old
lighthouse
remain
still
and
can
be
seen
in
remnants
of
the
basement.
A
famous
naval
battle
has
been
fought
by
the
foothill
of
Dolphins
nose.
It
was
fought
between
the
French
and
the
British
in
the
year
1804.
The
current
light
house
helps
to
track
cyclones
from
the
Dolphin
Nose
hill
top.
It
carries
the
necessary
equipment
Words
of
the
locals
carry
that
a
school
of
Dolphins
is
often
sighted
there.
But
whether
true
or
not
is
not
proved.
Romantic
theories
surround
the
appearance
and
dis-appearance
of
the
dolphins.
Dolphins
Nose
also
goes
by
the
name
of
‘Yarada
Konda’.
The
fishing
village
by
the
same
name
and
nestled
by
the
hill
is
a
must
visit.
It
is
the
only
channel
in
the
world
that
has
multiple
religious
shrines
guarding
safe
naval
passage.
The
temple
atop
Dolphins
Nose
is
the
Sagar
Matha
temple.
There
is
also
the
700
year
old
Ishaq
Medina
Dargah
there.
Sailors
and
navy
men
seek
blessing
of
both
while
entering
and
exiting
harbor.
For
one
to
go
to
Dolphins
Nose
from
the
city,
there
is
only
a
circuitous
route.
Much
earlier
it
was
not
so.
Vizag
city
was
connected
to
the
hill
by
a
strip
of
beach
land.
That
is
no
more
